In the busy technology world, Microsoft has just shared some interesting news about Windows 11 version 24H2 that is coming up. This information is mainly for Arm-basedCopilot+ PCs, so if you have one, this is for you.
Many people are excitedly waiting for the update, which promises improvements in printer support and app performance. This advancement will be a big step forward for those who use Arm-based systems. So now, let’s explore what this could mean to us.
Initially, Microsoft ensured that Windows apps would work well with Arm-based PCs. It’s like how they work on x86 computers—you can use more than just the apps from the Microsoft Store because many different applications should function immediately.
Still, if you want top performance, it’s best to go for apps made specifically for Windows on Arm. Knowing that the most popular Windows apps have been rebuilt for this platform, and more are coming, is comforting. Those that haven’t been optimized yet will still function because of emulation.The Prism emulator in Windows 11 24H2will be used for this purpose.
But you might be thinking about printers. What about them? Microsoft has a solution for this, too. Printers must cooperate with Arm-based PCs in the same manner as they do on x86 systems. This covers all the Mopria printers, which is good if you are worried about compatibility.
Inthe official support blog, Microsoft has even run a new Windows Protected Print Mode for Windows 11 24H2 focusing on Mopria-exclusive printers. And what about peripherals? Everything is ready if the drivers are included in Windows 11 or the hardware producer has made Arm64 drivers available.
Now, you may be thinking, “What does all of this mean for me?” These updates are significant if you are considering a new Arm-based PC or already have one.
They pledge to provide an improved, more even, and continuous experience, whether during work time, playing games, or doing anything else with the device. The dedication to ensuring apps and peripherals function properly strongly indicates Microsoft’s support for the Arm platform.
As a tech lover, an expert searching for the newest trend, or someone who wonders about future developments in the computing world, these changes inWindows 11 24H2are very interesting.
Microsoft is taking big steps forward by exploring new limits with Arm-based PCs which makes it a thrilling time to participate in the tech community. We should keep observing what more is to come!
